My Name's Amy...

I have always wanted to do it all. Constantly pulled in every direction by every one of my interests and hobbies and passions, as well as by my expectations and perfectionism.

I believe you can have it all, just not all at once. This blog is all about that balancing act. About choosing what to have right now, and what to leave for later (or to abandon altogether).

It's about all of the things that I'm passionate about, from books and food and crafting, to my friends and family. And about how I try to make it all work together. Sometimes perfectly and, more often, imperfectly. Sometimes juggling it all and, more often, dropping a ball or two. Sometimes with a good sense of humour and sometimes, well, not so much.

It's about giving yourself a break, but still getting up and going after what you really want. It's about finding what works for you and then making it work. It's about sitting back at the end of the day and knowing you've done your best.
